Chapter 254: Chapter 254: You Have to Compensate Me

Li Wanru said: “Lin Qi, don’t think I don’t know. If it weren’t for you, my daughter wouldn’t have been so seriously injured. I didn’t know before, but now that I do, I’m even more determined to take her away.”

Lin Qi froze.

Li Wanru hugged Lili and was about to leave.

But Lin Qi blocked the door firmly and said, “Don’t!”

“Damn it! Wretched woman, stealing my daughter and bad-mouthing me and my wife in front of her!” Jin Lilai strode towards her in a fury, intending to slap her.

Upon seeing this, Lili struggled out of Li Wanru’s embrace at all costs and stood protectively in front of Lin Qi, spreading her arms, “Don’t hit her!”

Jin Lilai didn’t think of holding back at all and smacked Lili straight across the face.

Lili took the slap and, covering her face with her hand, glared at him hatefully.

Jin Lilai said, “Do you even know who your real father and mother are? Are you turning your back on us or what?!”

Lin Qi angrily pushed him away: “Touch one hair on her head again, and I’ll fight you to the death!”

Jin Lilai said: “Come on then! You think I’m afraid of you?”

The police came over and pulled Jin Lilai away.

Yet Jin Lilai, heated with anger, continued to scuffle with Lin Qi.

The police officer shouted, “I’m warning you, no violence!”

But Jin Lilai, in his rage, didn’t care and tried to push the police officer.

The police warned again, “First warning!”

Jin Lilai yelled, “What do you mean by this? What do you want to do?!”

Seeing him confrontational and puffing out his chest, the officer reached behind his waist: “Second warning!”

Jin Lilai didn’t notice the officer’s movement and continued to clash.

The next second, the officer suddenly pulled out a bottle of pepper spray and aimed it at Jin Lilai’s face, “Handcuff him! Take him away!”

Other officers rushed forward and pinned Jin Lilai against the wall, handcuffing him!

Jin Lilai said: “Why are you arresting me? I’m a law-abiding good citizen! You city folks think we country farmers are easy to bully, don’t you!”

His eyes had been sprayed with pepper spray and he couldn’t open them, but he kept cursing nonstop.

Li Wanru rushed over, ignoring Lili, to protect her husband: “Why are you arresting him! You don’t arrest the real bad guys but arrest a good man!”

The police said: “Take her away too!”

…

An hour later.

At the police station, in the mediation room.

Lin Qi and Li Wanru sat face to face, looking at each other.

Li Wanru held Lili in her arms, and Lili stared at Li Wanru with a wary expression.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

A police officer stood at the door, Jin Lilai held a tissue, wiping his wet face as he walked in.

He sat down opposite Lin Qi, and soon, the mediator came in.

“We already understand the situation.”

However, considering the complexity of this case, and the fact that there is not enough evidence to prove that Lili is the biological daughter of Jin Lilai and Li Wanru, even if she is, it’s an indisputable fact that Jin Lilai and Li Wanru abandoned Lili originally.

Now, Lin Qi wants to adopt Lili, while Jin Lilai and Li Wanru want to take back their biological daughter.

It looks like they want to use their daughter for extortion.

It’s clear to everyone, just that Jin Lilai and Li Wanru won’t admit it verbally.

Lin Qi couldn’t understand how she, who is blood-related sisters with Li Wanru, could have come to this.

Lin Qi took the initiative to break the ice: “My thoughts are simple, I want to adopt Lili and raise her. The state of your household is also clear; you already have four daughters, and raising another child would probably be too much for you.”

Jin Lilai stood up, agitated and thumping the table: “You’re looking down on us, thinking we’re poor, right? Relax! We farm at home, even if we can’t afford our daughter’s education, we won’t let her starve! It’s you, who don’t have any good intentions, wanting to snatch my daughter, who knows what evil plans you’re harboring!”

Lin Qi said: “Can you speak nicely? If not, please leave, and I’ll talk with your wife!”

Jin Lilai was still emotionally charged: “What do you mean? Why should I leave! She’s my daughter, the person who should roll out is you! You have no right to negotiate terms with me.”

Li Wanru tugged at Jin Lilai’s sleeve.

Jin Lilai immediately realized and calmed down, sitting back down: “You want to adopt our daughter, fine, but we have conditions! Bring us five hundred thousand.”

Lin Qi laughed: “Are you trying to sell your daughter?”

Jin Lilai said: “Sell daughter? Can you speak like a human? That’s just how much our local girls are worth!”

Even using the word “worth.”

Lin Qi glared at Jin Lilai’s greedy face and suddenly said coldly: “You’ve already sold your daughter once. When Lili was just born, you handed her over to someone else! As far as I know, you also received some benefits from that party. Do you know that this is human trafficking, and both the buyer and the seller are illegal! Selling your daughter, you should go to jail!”

Jin Lilai said: “Sue me.”

Lin Qi said: “You think I won’t sue you? When the time comes, I’ll hire a lawyer for Lili and sue you in a civil action!”

Jin Lilai looked at the police.

The police said: “If there is solid evidence of illegal activity, based on the severity of the situation, a sentence can indeed be issued.”

Jin Lilai said: “You city people definitely side with city people to bully country folks! What crap police.”

The officer patiently held back from arguing with him.

Li Wanru said: “Lin Qi, I’m your sister, and you’re my sister, we don’t need to escalate to this point. Lili is my daughter, in the end, leaves fall back to their roots. My husband spoke in anger, don’t take it to heart.”

Lin Qi said: “In any case, I disagree with you taking Lili back!”

Li Wanru couldn’t help but ask: “I’ve always been puzzled, she isn’t your biological child, why do you care so much for her?”

Jin Lilai: “She definitely has ulterior motives, is there even a doubt?”

Lin Qi said: “Rest assured, my affection for her is definitely purer than your fatherly love!”

Jin Lilai: “Police comrade, did you hear that? She also admitted herself, I’m her biological father!”

The police: “We have never denied that you are the biological parents of this child. But legally speaking, the law relies on facts. If you want to take the child back, you at least need to provide a paternity test.”

Jin Lilai asked, “How much does a paternity test cost?”

The police officer replied, “You need to investigate this yourselves, we are not obligated to provide special clarification for you.”

Jin Lilai cursed inwardly.

Li Wanru gave him a look.

She said to Lin Qi: “How about this! We want to be with our daughter as she grows up too, after all, we truly owe her a lot, so we also want to do our best to compensate. If you must adopt her, that’s not impossible, but… she is a piece of flesh from my own body, you want my daughter, you should compensate me, right?”
